Delicious Chicken Breast with Beans and Escarole Recipe Instructions

Below are easy instructions to make this quick weeknight meal.

First, rinse the cannellini beans and set aside. Cut up the chicken breast into cubes. I used cooking scissors to cut the chicken breast (boneless). Open the tomato can and the bag of escarole and set aside. Measure out Italian seasoning and set aside.

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil (Affiliate Link) and 1 teaspoon garlic to the warm, non-stick skillet and heat for 3 minutes.

Then, add the cut chicken pieces and brown both sides for 10 minutes.

Add cannellini beans and 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning. Heat for 5 minutes and stir. Do not let it burn. You can lower the temperature to medium.

Now add diced tomatoes to the skillet and 1 teaspoon more Italian Seasoning. Stir in, cover, and cook for another 10 minutes.

Then add the cleaned and cooked escarole to the top of the skillet, cover, and cook until wilted—about 5 minutes. Then, stir into the dish—season with salt and pepper to taste.
